This scene is extremely significant, because it reveals Ralph'sstruggle to maintain his focus on what he deems is the mostimportant act on the island--maintaining the signal fire. He knowsthat he has to gather the boys to make their way from Castle Rockto the mountain where Samneric spotted the beas…t, but for a moment,Ralph completely loses his focus and grip on his priorities. Hesees the enthusiasm of the boys pushing the rocks all around him,and Ralph's train of thought completely slips away. Golding usesthe simile "like a bat's wing" to describe the way that Ralph'sthought process completely shut down, even if momentarily. He andhis leadership faltered, and he could not remember the importanceof the smoke signal. Golding's simile is an apt one for the scene,as he described the cave and the pink rocks being streaked withguano, like icing earlier; his diction also seems like a play onwords, as if to suggest that Ralph is going 'batty.'

Sudan does not per se have "strange laws", the country is ruled according to Islamic (Sharia) law - which is common in a number of countries. Some of the rules that non-Sharia countries may find "strange" relate to dress code, which are fairly conservative (although not as strictly implemented as… in other Islamic countries). Women for example have to have their hair covered; must wear dresses (and not trousers), these must be ankle length and also cover the neck and wrists. Normally men are also frowned upon if they wear short trousers! Bear in mind that Sudan is on average one of the hottest countries in the world! Unmarried men and women may not sit together without a chaperon. Another law (again Sharia) which some may find strange relates to accidents and helping people who may have been injured. Under the law if you stop to assist someone in an accident and he/ she dies while you are trying to help them YOU are held responsible and charged accordingly! This is in total opposition to the "good Samaritan" laws of may other countries. To this end many people will stop and look at an accident, but very seldom offer any assistance. One I particularly like relates to criminals. if you are convicted of a crime and sentenced to a prison sentence the government only provides you with a new home - how you get food and money in prison is entirely up to your family and friends!

Actually, one of the most popular things in japan today is Hatsune Miku and the vocaloids: kagamine rin and len, megarine luka, and kaito. yes, there are more but the rest are really just fanmade one's sadly. they are one of the most popular subjects in japan and all around the world. no. they are n…ot real people. vocaloid is a voice synthesizing program. hatsune miku (the first one made) was a character based on this program. how this works: one person would sing the lyrics and now all the people would have to do is change the pitch and tone and add affects to it, and TAH-DAH!! there is miku's voice. and no. they are not the only big thing in Japan, but they are my favorite of everything, other than japan itself of course! p.s. vocaloid was made in 2009. not sure of the month and date though. look them up on youtube and i'm sure you'll fall in LOVE with them!!
